FortiSwitch Secure Access switches deliver outstanding security, performance
and manageability for threat conscious small to mid-sized businesses, distributed
enterprises and branch offices. Tightly integrated into the FortiGate
®
Network
Security Platform, the FortiSwitch Secure Access switches can be managed directly
from the familiar FortiGate interface. This single pane of glass management provides
complete visibility and control of all users and devices on the network, regardless of
how they connect.
When a device connects to a Secure Access Switch Ethernet port, it is first identified,
and then the user is authenticated. Once authenticated, access to the network is
granted based on pre-defined security policy from the FortiGate, ensuring secure
network access across the enterprise, without impacting the user experience. When
the enterprise network edge is further extended using Fortinet’s range of FortiAP™
Secure Wireless LAN Access Points, a consistent network access policy is enforced
across both the wired and wireless LAN, providing a true Unified Access Layer.
Secure Managed Switches for Wire Closet Installation
The FortiSwitch 224D-POE, FortiSwitch 324B-POE, FortiSwitch 348B and
FortiSwitch 448B switches are ideal for the next generation applications, where
increased productivity can be achieved through faster network access speeds via
dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports. With a compact 1RU form factor, these switches
are ideally suited for high density enterprise or classroom wire closet installations,
delivering a truly secure network access platform for wired Ethernet devices.
Simple Network Deployment and Compliance
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability enables simple installation of wireless
Access Points and IP phones in the network, with power and data being delivered
over the same network cable. There is no need to contract electricians to install
power for your PoE capable devices anymore, reducing your overall network TCO.
By leveraging the FortiSwitch VLAN segmentation feature of the switches, enterprise
networks can support the convergence of voice, data and wireless traffic onto a
single network platform. FortiSwitch network segmentation can even be managed
from the FortiGate interface, simplifying the process of meeting compliance
requirements for data separation.
